CONVERSE First String Standards – 1970s Chuck Taylor All Star

Converse digs into its extensive archive to debut its 1970s Chuck Taylor All Star, released under the brand’s exclusive First String Standards banner. The shoe is a faithful reproduction of the silhouette from the Me Decade, featuring subtle details that set it apart from its modern counterpart. They take the form of higher rubber foxing, a bulkier toe box and extra interior cushioning. Sharp-eyed observers will also notice added stitch detail along the side, as well as a vintage license plate at the heel and heavy-grade cotton canvas used throughout the upper. Original black and white colorways of the 1970s Chuck Taylor are set to launch globally on February 15th, available through the following retailers: Concepts (Massachusetts), JUICE (Shanghai), Foot Patrol (London) and HAVEN (Canada). Additional colorways, including Sunflower and Crimson, drop in April, followed by even more colors in July.
